Delta 46-255 lathe info
Hello all,
I'm after some info. Rutlands are selling Delta 46-255 (although it is listed as 40-255) variable speed lathes at £170 (down from £220). It seems to have what I'm looking for in a lathe as I'll be using it as a hobby not a living. The main thing is the cost seems quite reasonable and at that price it may be easier to justify to the wife. Can anyone recommend for or against this model. Can anyone recommend an alternative model for around the £200 mark that is not difficult to get hold of in the UK. http://www.rutlands.co.uk/cgi-bin/psProdDet.cgi/40255||||user||| If anyone is selling one second-hand in the Bristol area feel free to drop me a line. Thanks in advance, Darren 'H' |

Delta 46-255 lathe info
Hi Darren,
I had one of these for 2 years-It's not a bad lathe but IMHO you would be better with the Axminster version,not much difference(except colour)but you'll get far better after sales service should you (hopefully not)need it Here's the link http://www.axminster.co.uk/default.asp?part=CCL Mike "H" wrote in message ...
